I've never liked the dude's voice and have never understood the massive appeal. Some of the tunes are a little bit more low-key and bluesy, those ones aren't too bad but overall I'm not a fan

God, it's interesting...but is it good? So far, for me, it's a no. This has to be one of those albums that really grabs a person the more they listen to it.....right?! The millions and millions of Radiohead fans out there (that never shut up about how amazing Radiohead is) can't all be wrong. I've always loved their 1st three albums but after that they took a muh more ambient, electronic turn in their sound that I've never really got. This is one that I'll keep trying but I don't think it'll take

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

I've always thought of this album as the Winger/Nelson of the Rap-rock/NU-Metal genre. Basically, they're well crafted, pretty pop songs dressed up (or down) in nu-metal clothes

I am by no mean any kind of a blues fan. My old CD collection included the following blues pillars: Eric Clapton -From the cradle, Jonny Lang-Long time coming and something from Doyle Bramhall so yeah, my blues depth is not....very deep. This album though? Love it!! When they say a great vocalist and a great drummer make a great band, this is something that comes to my mind.

Fucking horrible. The only that makes this remotely interesting is getting to hear what Johnny Rotten is up to post-Sex Pistols. After the first listen there's nothing interesting left. Shit is BORING! Repetitive jumbled messy trash. Not to mention, Johnny Rotten still remains a completely unlikeable trash human! So far in my journey through this list, this album has the #1001 spot locked up!

Triangle

The Beau Brummels

2/5

Not a huge fan of the warbling vocal delivery. Other than that it's okay 60's rock. Nothing too consequential for me, neither bad or great. Didn't really grab my attention on the first listen until the last 2 songs....... On the 2nd listen, the last 5 were far stronger tunes than the first 6. Not sure, but I'm guessing side 1 and side 2? Side 2 is more magical and twinkly with more elaborate and delicate compositions.

3/5

Just a crazy, wild hunch here.....Les Claypool has listened to this album. Les enjoyed this album very much and thought to himself, "One day I will create my very own sound that will sound just like this!" And then, when he was done lisening, he called his friends, Ween and said, "hey you might wanna check this out." The fellas in Ween liked it but not quite at much as Les. A very interesting listen. Not sure if I'll ever seek this one again but it is really cool to hear what some of the wierder stuff of the 90's and beyond was influenced by.

Nothing bad about it, just a tad slow and boring. In the right mood though, I'd call it good piano driven indie rock. Kinda reminded me of if someone was playing a counting crows record but had they're thumb on the record, slightly slowing it down.

I'm not a fan of most other hip-hop, let alone some unknown (to me) British shit. A lot of repetition in these tunes, I could see where it could end up being catchy. For the most part, I find these songs way more cringey.

It's temu Van Morrison and I'm here for it! Although, after reading the other reviews, I'm realizing maybe I need to be checking out lyrics. But then again if I only hear the vocals as just another sound source and not the words of a cringey gross message then maybe I'm doing it right?

I dont really see the need for this dude. This world already has one Neil Diamond and one Neil Diamond is enough for everyone. Plus I got a gross vibe on the whole album. Without looking into this guy at all, I'm guessing there has to be loads of allegations out there regarding his conduct around the ladies.

This one! Super snoozefest at first but then the tune One Of These Things First got stuck in my head and then I listened a bit more intently. I'm on my fourth listen (maybe 5th) now and I'm loving this. It reminds me a lot of some of the Iron&Wine albums that I love. This ones definitely getting added to the library!

Hot Fuss

The Killers

4/5

Amazing album, but arguably the weakest of their first 3 releases. Reminds me of the album arc of Pearl Jam. Their first 3 albums are all amazing in a debatable order of great to greatest. After that, every album is just mediocre to good. Each album could have a great tune here or there but nowhere near the front-to-back greatness that all of the first 3 contain.

Yeah, no. On first listening to the first tune I thought I heard the "N" word but just shrugged it off as he must've said neighbors. On 2nd listen, yup, he DIDN'T say neighbors. I get it, he's probably telling a story of how rednecks are afraid of the coming racial equality and this was in 1974 but it is still not a word I want to hear. Besides, the rest of the album is not good enough to make an exception to this vulgar ugly word

Of all the zeppelin albums, might be my least favorite. Its a hard thing to describe too because there are a ton of great singles on here.

I got a new album to listen to today now!
